The coal industry was built on generations of people working in some of the toughest conditions in Britain. For many former miners, those working years also meant prolonged exposure to significant levels of industrial noise.
Hearing damage is not always immediately apparent. Problems such as reduced hearing, difficulty following conversations or tinnitus can become more noticeable later in life, long after someone has left the pits.
If you previously worked for the NCB and believe your hearing may have been damaged by excessive workplace noise, Eldred Law can assess your circumstances and explain whether you may be eligible to make a claim.
